Hear the Quiet

I don’t know about you, but I start making my Christmas cards in June.  I love to design and create an individual and unique card for each and every one on my list and let me tell you, it’s a pretty big list.  But with all the fun and inspiring accessories available from Eyelet Outlet, I have no problem doing just that!

This simple, yet beautiful card measures 6.5” x 5”. I’m not one that sticks to the conventional card sizing guidelines. I let the card be the size it turns out to be and then make an envelope that will fit it. 😊 

To create this peaceful winter scene, I sat a Cardinal brad and a Cardinal Profile brad upon a tree branch that hovers over three Pine Tree brads with added snow. The wallpaper is adorned with 4mm Clear Jewels to give it that extra holiday sparkle. The final touch is the festive Wreath brad hung above the windowsill.

Have a wonderful week and always be STRATE UP CRAFTY!

Getting Cozy with Warm Hearts & Cold Noses

Today we're celebrating Christmas in July with warm hearts and cold noses! I love Corgi dogs. Our family owns Rocky, a precocious stubborn little personality that makes our house complete. 
To create this card, I started by stamping the Corgi image from the Power Poppy Christmas Corgis set. I used Karin Markers and their blender pen to color it. I cut the image out and put it on top of a metallic silver paper circle cut with a stitched die from Art Impressions. I used the next larger die in the set to cut another circle and stacked the two together.

For the background panel, I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece out of blue cardstock. I added strips of alternating Corgi Washi Tape and Skinny Silver and Blue Washi Tapes. At the very top I put two strips of Silver Sparkle Glitter Washi Tape. Then I cut a fancy border from a die and attached it to the top. I used a strip of Fancy Long Pearl and Jewel Bling to accent the top.

To finish this card, I placed a Large and XL sized Snowflake Bling toward the top of the card. A stamped sentiment was placed on double-sided tape and put at the bottom of the circles.
